Average MPG - Longterm - GTI

[siforet]

Hi,

I'm a new user writing from Catalonia. I hope I'm welcome here as I'm not from UK but I've entered this forum so many times to read it as I like it a lot I decided to register. Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker, don't hesitate to make any corrections.

I'm waiting for a new Golf GTI to arrive and I guess I'll be getting better MPG than the average of you as here the GTI comes with 17" wheels as standard. In fact if tests were performed properly 3/5 doors should give different MPG as well as 17/18", weight kills everything and it's incredible to see how official MPG figures between a standard 3 door vs. a 5 door PP+DSG only differ in 3MPG (I had to convert as here we use l/100km).

I'll tell my figures once I have it here!! Have to wait until late march

Hola, buenas tardes siforet - your are very welcome here! And your English is brilliant. A lot better than my Spanish! Yes will interesting to see what your mpg figures will be. Don't forget to post your pics too when yours finally arrives. You WILL NOT be disappointed. It is well worth the wait!

Wow! Thats impressive and yes you must have been bored.

My best so far when very very bored was 47mpg

Mine has settled at 31.5 mpg over my last few tanks, that's about 320ish miles for £55/£56 (vpower). I never let the range go below 40 miles. That is a complete mix of driving types. That figure is off the OBC and i havent calculated it myself yet. What is weird was my JCW Mini showed 35mpg on the OBC, yet it cost more to fill and I got the same miles as i'm getting from my GTI. So one of them is/was wrong!

Darlo, i too had a JCW previously to the GTI, overall i think the GTI is a little more expensive on to run on fuel, but it is very marginal.

A, yes it is mine. Currently driving a non performance pack manual (now around 7500 miles). Picking up the new GTI on Saturday with performance pack but still manual. Will be interesting to see if there is any difference in consumption.

Yes, picking up my second on March 1st. Collected the first one 3rd September however after rejecting it due to serious paintwork issues, the replacement is now due. Managed to keep hold of the first one for the 6 month waiting list too so thats a bonus.

I was really trying to max out the mpg for the entire journey. Started on a B road for around a mile, then around 5 miles of A road and then around 30 miles of motorway. Car was set to individual mode with everything in sport except the engine as i hate the sound of the sound-aktor.
